Birds & Bush in Watercolour – Tasmanian 7 Day Art Retreat

More Information

Calling all nature lovers to learn how to paint highly realistic natural history watercolour with internationally renowned Australian artist Heidi Willis.

Deep in the hills of remote North East Tasmania lies a tiny farming community with a 100 year old hotel that is now Artable’s Australian retreat base – Enclave. Nature is well and truly begging to be captured in paint here and you will be combining field trips in nature for inspiration with studio work.

Unique lichens and moss grow next to crystal clear streams amidst giant eucalypts and tiny wildflowers known only to this region. Giant eagles soar in the skies whilst little finches dart around the forest floor. This part of Tasmania will speak to every artist on every level.

The Enclave accommodations have been lovingly restored and curated by award winning Artable founder Gillian who has brought together a decade of retreat experience to offer you a non-sharing room at no extra charge, a huge light filled art studio, a comfortable group lounge complete with Chesterfields and fireplace and daily excursions to visit carefully selected locations to capture the very best natural history paintings.

Paired with one of Australia’s most renowned watercolour and natural history artists Heidi Willis, this retreat is not to be missed – join us for a week long experience like no other.
